  1. Data Management Workshop Bogota

  2. Kingdom of the Netherlands • Dismantling of the Neth.Antilles and Meteorological Service Neth.Antilles & Aruba as of 101010 (Kingdom is now Neth, Aruba, Cur, St.Maarten) • Former branch MDNA&A on Aruba becomes DepartamentoMeteorologicodi Aruba as of 101010 • The Meteorological Department Aruba is now the source for Meteorological, Seismological and Climatological data for Aruba, as well as the official governmental entity to issue severe weather bulletins for Aruba. • Web-page http://www.meteo.aw

  3. Neotectonic Map (Funvisis) • Pueblo Nuevo Fault on the Peninsula of Paraguana, lying about 50 km south from Aruba, has a seismic potential to generate an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 and a return period of some 2300 years. • Cuiza Fault NothwesternVenezuela and Northeastern Colombia, some 120 km southwest of Aruba, has a capability to generate an earthquake of 6.7, with a return period of 1500 years. • Eastern Oca Fault some 160 km south of Aruba and has a seismic potential to produce an earthquake of magnitude 7.5, with a return period of 390 years. The Eastern Oca Fault represents the highest seismic hazard for Aruba, because of its short return period and seismic potential.

  4. SCDB

  5. Minimum Mw = 8.7, 300 km x 200 km x 6 m slip (no slip since 1492) Mw 8.9 if 14 m slip 9.1<Mw<9.1 if both segments slip Mw=8.7 Mw=8.7

  6. Seismic Activity Near Aruba 1921-2008 (Funvisis)

  7. Seismic Stations Aruba Current Future

  8. Type of Stations • CMG40T (30s-50hz), NETDAS (24bit) (prsn) • CMG3TD (120s-50hz), digitizer 24 bit (aruba) • CMG6TD (0.003hz-50hz), digitizer 24 bit (unesco)

  9. Seismic Station near Airport to noisy

  10. Seismic WS Aruba

  11. Why Seismology on Aruba? • CaribeEWS • Recommendation FNVS 1997 • Citizens reporting ‘quakes’ • Citizens reporting ‘growing hill’ on eastward side • Great way to create science awareness
